I wasn’t surprised. Things were clearly quite serious when he went in yesterday and I couldn’t understand the line from no.10 about him still being in control when he was obviously very poorly indeed. I also got the impression Victoria McDonald knew more than she was saying on channel 4 news.
It must be a terrible worry for his girlfriend and children but constitutionally there is a bit of a crisis. He could quite easily be sedated for a long time or worse and Raab isn’t an appealing stand-in.
